How To Install gsm.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2

In this tutorial we learn how to install gsm.x86_64 in Amazon Linux 2. gsm.x86_64 is Shared libraries for GSM speech compressor

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gsm.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2.

What is gsm.x86_64

Contains runtime shared libraries for libgsm, an implementation of the European GSM 06.10 provisional standard for full-rate speech transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036, which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse excitation/long term prediction) coding at 13 kbit/s. GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 162 13-bit samples (8 kHz sampling rate, i.e. a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits; for compatibility with typical UNIX applications, our implementation turns frames of 160 16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650 Bytes/s). The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable speaker recognition; even music often survives transcoding in recognizable form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling rate). The interfaces offered are a front end modelled after compress(1), and a library API. Compression and decompression run faster than realtime on most SPARCstations. The implementation has been verified against the ETSI standard test patterns.

We can use yum to install gsm.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gsm.x86_64.
